UNION CITY, Calif., July 11, 2016 /Christian Newswire/ -- According to the National Vital Statistics Report, Vol. 65, No. 2 dated February 16, 2016, the total number of deaths in Black America from the 13 leading causes of death is 232,335.

Based on an analysis of data from the U.S. Statistical Abstract for 2013 and the National Vital Statistics Report, Vol. 64, No. 1 dated January 15, 2015, done recently by Dennis Howard, President of the Movement for a Better America, there are an estimated 429,000 abortions performed each year in Black America.

Here are the 13 leading causes of death in detail and their relationship to abortion in Black America:

    Heart Disease:
    72,010
    Abortion kills 5.9 times as many Blacks as heart disease.

    Malignant Neoplasms: 67,953
    Abortion kills 6.3 times as many Blacks as cancer.

    Cerebrovascular Disease: 16,269
    Abortion kills 26.4 times as many Blacks as strokes.

    Accidents (unintentional injuries): 13,413
    Abortion kills 31.9 times as many Blacks as accidents of all kinds.

    Diabetes Mellitus: 13,385
    Abortion kills 32 times as many Blacks as diabetes.

Abortion takes 185% more Black American lives every year than all 13 leading causes of death combined.

According to the Tuskegee Institute, 3,446 Negroes were lynched by the Klu Klux Klan between 1882 and 1968. Compared to the over 20 million Black lives taken by abortion since 1968, Black abortion has taken 5,800 times more Black lives than the Klu Klux Klan.

Walter B. Hoye II, President of the Issues4Life Foundation, asks: "How can Black Americans align themselves with an industry that profits from the death of more Black Americans than are taken every year by the 13 leading causes of death and 5,800 times more Black lives than were taken by the Klu Klux Klan?"
